The association between HPV vaccination and new-onset cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: based on a retrospective study.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHuman papillomavirus (HPV), a widespread sexually transmitted infection, is well-known for its association with cancers like cervical, anal, and oropharyngeal. While extensively studied for its oncogenic properties, HPV's influence on these non-cancerous conditions remains under investigation. This study examines the impact of HPV vaccination on the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, exploring its protective potential.
methodsUtilizing the global TriNetX database, this retrospective cohort study analyzed data from adults aged 20 to 40 who were either vaccinated or not vaccinated against HPV between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021. The study employed propensity score matching to ensure balanced comparison groups and utilized ICD-10 codes to identify new-onset cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
resultsThe study included 59,423 vaccinated and an equal number of unvaccinated individuals, balanced for various demographic and health characteristics. The vaccinated group demonstrated a lower incidence of cardiovascular diseases (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.9, 95% CI 0.847-0.957), cerebrovascular diseases (HR = 0.605, 95% CI 0.484-0.754), and heart dysfunction (HR = 0.833, 95% CI 0.708-0.98) compared to the unvaccinated group. Subgroup analyses further supported the protective effect of HPV vaccination across different demographics.
conclusionHPV vaccination is linked to a lower risk of new-onset cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in adults, suggesting broader health benefits beyond cancer prevention. These results advocate for incorporating cardiovascular health into public health strategies promoting HPV vaccination. Further research is necessary to understand the mechanisms and validate these protective effects across diverse populations and extended follow-up periods.
